Centrifugal force is actually not a real force but rather a perceived force that is felt when an object moving in a circular path seems to push outward away from the center of the circle. The force that keeps the object in its circular motion is typically called centripetal force, and it acts towards the center of the circular path.
Therefore, the direction of centrifugal force is directly opposite to the direction of the centripetal force (the force that holds the object in the circular path).
